An absolutely wonderful dining experience! The service (Joe) was phenomenal from start to finish—attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling intrusive. The food was exceptional, with high-quality ingredients, beautiful presentation, and outstanding flavor. The beverages were equally impressive and perfectly complemented the meal. Everything was thoughtfully done, and the attention to detail really stood out. It’s clear that this restaurant takes great pride in both the quality of the food and the overall guest experience. A truly memorable experience, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for excellent food, exceptional beverages, and outstanding service!
Response from the owner:Cydney, thank you so much for the incredible review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful experience at Modern Plate. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Joe—he’ll be happy to know his attentive and welcoming service helped make your visit so memorable. It’s also great to hear that you enjoyed the food, presentation, and beverages. Our team puts a lot of care into every detail, so your feedback truly means a lot to us.

Can't say enough about this restaurant. We arrived at 4:00, a party of four and each one raved about their dinner. We ordered pork chop with brussel sprouts and short rib ragu. Delicious and enough for another dinner to take home! Desserts ordered were lava cake and profiteroles. It would be hard to not have both again. Again large portions, with generous amount of delicious chocolate sauce.The pastry part of the profiteroles are just as good as my family recipe. Even my drink, French 75, was exceptional, Gatto, our waiter was efficient and charming. Jason, the manager, stopped by our table to make recommendations and was genuinely interested in our input. They are an asset to the restaurant. If all restaurant staff were modeled after them, dining out would be much more enjoyable.
Response from the owner:Patricia and John, thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We’re so happy to hear that everyone in your party enjoyed their dinner. From the pork chop and short rib ragu to the lava cake, profiteroles, and French 75, it sounds like you sampled some great favorites! We especially love hearing that the profiteroles lived up to your family recipe—that’s quite a compliment. We’ll be sure to share your wonderful comments with Gatto and Jason. Providing warm, attentive service and making every guest feel welcome is incredibly important to us, and we’re fortunate to have them on the Modern Plate team. Thank you again for dining with us and for taking the time to share your experience. We can’t wait to welcome all four of you back for another memorable dinner!
